Last weekend my daughter and I had dinner in China Town in London. We had jasmine tea from pretty little bowls. It was lovely.

Shoulders down and corners up Butter. smile

Oh the quiet corner is open again. I will just put some of my loose leaf green tea here on this very dusty shelf with my new tea pot. Once I got used to green tea I was hooked and now drink it all the time.
